Based on the reviews, I knew Clarissa was good, but I didn't know it would be this good! I didn't think it was possible to see same-day changes in my dog's behavior, but it 100% is with her program. She understands the differences between the way humans and dogs think and act, and she gives great explanations on everything you can do to improve your relationship with your dog into one that fosters respect. With the relationship improvement came the behavior improvement. Now that I understand how to effectively interact and communicate with my dog, he respects and listens to me more than ever. I will use her teachings for the rest of my life! Thank you, Clarissa!
Liz Fink
Clarissa was so helpful in giving us all the information we need to help improve our dog’s severe anxiety. We are already noticing differences with the techniques she gave us just a few hours later that help keep our sweet pup calmer when people come over.
Emily Anderson
Clarissa is wonderful, she knows what she is doing and is very professional and kind. We have really been struggling with our two year old Brittany, but I’m confident with the tools from Calm Nature Dog Training that all of us will be much happier and less stressed. Even after our initial consultation I was noticing changes in our dogs behavior and starting to adjust my thinking and behavior as well. 10/10 would recommend!
